Judith’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Aoife,

Can you add The Girl from the Well to your TT shelf when you get a chance? It works for our newest chipmunk task!

Thank you

I would say the new letters as they are more points per book (since it's the letter plus a portion of the bonus for finishing a word).

And team, don't stress about the amount of new letters. We have until the end of the challenge, meaning July books can go here too. Also, we aren't penalized if we don't finish all the spellings.

Megan we still need yours!

The other is for the International Booker Prize which is for books translated into English.

New Task:

Random 10 - X-Factor - Read a book related to a talent competition

(the other new task has a book earmarked for it already - the international booker prize)

Yay! previous alien books all went to other chipmunk tasks

New task:

X-Files - Read a book featuring aliens

I'm not sure if this book is any good as I haven't read it.

But I did find this one And Other Mistakes

and when I was adding the link this random book I know zero things about also popped up My Child and Other Mistakes: How to ruin your life in the best way possible

that both work for task 80. I've got to finish a few before I could start one of but thought I'd toss these out in case they appeal to someone.

Unfortunately no, we’d need 2 Ns.

Yes they are, all 3. and if you take one I can reserve it for you :)

3 New Chipmunk Tasks:

Solve for X - Read a book with author initials in TEN

10 Things the Chipmunks Love - Creativity and Chaos! Read a book with three Cs in the title and/or author name

X-Rated - Read a book with a bed on the cover

Yay! We really are killing it getting through these tasks

FYI - I was shifting some books around to find homes in the spell outs for some of the larger page number books for the June page towers.

So some spots may of appeared to be open while I was moving codes from one book to another. I had to remove a few spots people grabbed because they weren't actually open.

No worries though, we'll be doing this periodically to get everything to fit. We'll find homes for them eventually.

Just didn't want people surprised if I deleted a mini code from your row.

It does help we’ve revealed just over half the tasks on our own

There is not a public list of the tasks and I’m trying hard to be a good little mod and not let any out of the bag that haven’t popped up for other teams.

The struggle is real 😂

Those mainly fall into 2 categories
1) books that work for the Chipmunk tasks that we only have 10 open ones at a time. And each team gets them in a different random order. To be clear all teams have the same 140 tasks, but our say task 20 will be different than Team Kumi's task 20. But eventually we'll both get the task.
So we know some of the yet to be revealed tasks and have read books ready to plug in as soon as they pop up and can get another new one revealed right away.
Hopefully that makes some sense.
2) books that don't fit in the open tasks but may work for a yet to be revealed Chipmunk task.
3) or it may just go towards our page towers and not get placed for a mini task, which is 100% fine and we'll still get plenty of points for those too :)

I've found a bunch of 9 and 11's in our banked books as well as my own. It's really quite annoying. So close and yet, so far away

New Task:

X Books - Read a book where the author name contains 10 characters (exc spaces)

Bobbi wrote: "Would this include books we *want* to defenestrate? I have a couple of those 😅"

In all seriousness though, I'd accept that. Actually with the rating Lexi gave a book yesterday we might have one that fits using that justification.

Teehee

New task:

10 Things the Chipmunks Love - Defenestration! - Read a book you can connect to defenestration somehow (find it in the text, set in Prague etc)

for those less familiar with the flinging of people or things out of windows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenes...
